Simon John Godsill (born 2 December 1965) is professor of statistical signal processing at the University of Cambridge,[1] and a professorial fellow at Corpus Christi College.[2] He is also a member of the Centre for Science and Policy.[3] His main area of research is Bayesian statistics and stochastic sampling methodologies, particularly particle filtering.[4]
Education
Godsill attended Selwyn College, Cambridge, obtaining a first class degree in the Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos in 1988.[5] He then went on to receive a Ph.D. degree from the Department of Engineering at Cambridge University in 1993, with a thesis entitled "The Restoration of Degraded Audio Signals"[6] and his Ph.D. supervisor was Peter Rayner, whom he shared with Mike Lynch.
Career
Godsill has published over 250 articles in peer reviewed journals,[7] along with the books Digital audio restoration: a statistical model based approach[8] and Compressed sensing & sparse filtering.[9]
Business interests
Godsill is currently a director of CEDAR Audio Ltd,[10] a Cambridge-based company that applies Bayesian mathematics for purposes of noise reduction in audio data. In February 2005, the company received a Sci-Tech Academy Award (a 'Technical Oscar') for its services to the movie industry, and a stream of innovations appeared over the following years with corresponding recognition including induction into the Audio Technology Hall of Fame (2008), a Cinema Audio Society Award (2009). Godsill is also a director at Input Dynamics Ltd,[11] a Cambridge-based company that applies Bayesian techniques to touch screen technology. Godsill is involved with the research effort at BMLL Technologies,[12] a Cambridge spin-off working in the field of machine learning application in the financial sector.
